    We had an amazing meal last night. The ambience was as cool as ever. We are regulars at this fantastic establishment, but hadn't been here for almost a year since we moved interstate to live. The staff were so attentive and caring of our needs and wishes, that when they saw our reservation, they put aside the last bottle of our favourite wine for us to have with our meal, and they remembered our usual food order! As for the food itself, the steak au poivre was as delicious as ever. It confirmed The European as our favourite restaurant in all of Australia.

    The entree (foccacia) was amazing, especially the butter. The $25 steak night deal on Thursdays was so worth it, the steak was cooked perfectly, with a generous portion of fries. And to end it, the basque cheesecake was to die for! Additionally, the customer service was excellent! The staff were constantly checking in to see if we were enjoying our food and if we were keen on any drinks.
